The outlook for prohibition in Texas was

When JEFF. Davis wrote letter against pro-

that there are more followers of jeff. Davis
than of temperance in Texas and this can
hardly be considered surprising.

There has been nothing more remarkable in
recent politics than the fact that for several
days the result of the State election in
Kentucky was i'll ,;oubt and the Republic
cans claimed that they had elected their
candidate for Governor The morning after
the election the Democrats claimed the
State by $4,000 plurality, but as the re-
turns eane in their pretensions slrank,
and now the adyiceS are that Buekner, the
Democratic candidate for Governor. has only
1900 ma jority. As the Democrats have done
the counting, it i. quite probable that the State
really went Republican. The present Cover
nor Of the State was elected by 1900 major
ity. The New \ ork Tribune therefore thinks
the result this year significant. 1t SAYS: 1.-The
Republicans gained two Congression.. districts
last year and nearly defeated Mr. Carlisle.
Since that time the Democrats have realized
their danger and have worked hard. The
enormous falling of in their vote even though,
they carry the State. leaves them in a sad
plight for the Presidential contest should

The Temperance Camp Meeting.

Last year some of the local temperance peo-
pie inaugurated a temperance camp-meeting on
the Northport grounds and met with good sue
cess. The meetings were well attended and
with the exception of one Incorporate speech
the programme was an excellent one, and must
have been productive of much good. This year
the work thus auspicously begun was taken up
by other hands, but for want Of practical bust
ness management resulted in financial failure.
Good speakers and fine music We're secured,
and the meetings generally were interesting,
but people did not come because no special
efforts were made to bring them. The fault to
be found with the meetings was that one or
two Of the speakers were partisans rather
than temperance men. The people invited
TO a temperance meeting are liable to be
disappointed. if not disguised, when called
upon to listen to third party harangues. And

LONDON, Nov. 9-John L. Sullivan made
his first public appearance in London in St.
James Hall tonight. Although the prices
were doubled the hall was crowded and an
enthusiastic reception was accorded him.
Sullivan was introduced to the spectators by
Jem Smith, the English champion. In a
brief speech he expressed his thanks for the
reception he had met with and said he hoped
that Smith would beat Kilrain. Smith him
self also made few remarks, saying that he
meant to beat Kilrain and would do his best
to beat Sullivan. The American champion
boxed with Ashton and three other leading
pugillsts, and although he appeared to De
slightly out of condition, his smartness
pleased the critics. Smith on being ques-
toned as to his opinion of Sullivan's ability
said: ''Sullivan is good man, but I believe
that can beat him. Sullivan in an inter
view said Smith was shaped well, but that
he had expected to find him bigger man.

in the Eastern Intercollegiate Football
league series at Dartmouth was played to-day
with Amherst, resulting SO to in favor of
Dartmouth. The visitors played well, espe-

Dartmoutbs, who were very strong in both
individual and team work. The playing was
nearly all done in Amherst's territory and
only once did the latter get dangerously near
Dartmouth's goal. The most brilliant play

mates that if this mistake is rectifed Mr..

cations in the foregoing petition contained and al

honorable court and that said Louis Llngg be de-

At O'Clock the hearing of the arguments
on the petition was taken up by the court.
The usual formal notice was served on State
Attorney Grinnell about 1 o'clock. 1t sim
ply informed him that the motion for writ
of inquisition directed to the sheriff COM
handing him to bring Louis Lingg before
the court for trial for insanity had been
filed. When the argument commenced this
afternoon the case which counsel for the
condemned had to make was the showing
of sufficient grounds to warrant the court in
issuing the writ on the sheriff commanding
Lingg to be brought from his cell before the
court. Judge Pendergsst cut the proceed
ings short by refusing to interfere in Lingg's
behalf and sustaining State Attorney Grin
nelIs argument that the prisoner was out of
the jurisdiction of the County court. The
court said it would not undertake to pass
on the case until the criminal
court refused to do SO and Mr.
Hunt announced that he intended to
tomorrow. Messrs. Hunt and Herman late
this afternoon went to the criminal court and
filed petition for an inquiry into Lingg's
sanity with the CLERK, after which they sought
Judge Bakers court room to lay the matter
before him and ask him to interfere. The
judge was not in and they went out on the
street to find him. In case they do not sue
coed in getting the case before Judge Baker
tonight they will appear before him to-
morrow morning.
